We can see that

$Slope\ of\ AB=Slope\ of\ BC=Slope\ of\ AC$

The given points are on same line.

Further explanation:

There are two methods to find if the given points are on same line

The slope method: If the points are on same line the slopes of two pairs of points will be same
Area of triangle method

Given points are:

A(1,3) B(4,2) C(-2,4)

We will find the slope of AB, BC, and AC

So,

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

$Slope\ of\ AB=\frac{2-3}{4-1} \\=-\frac{1}{3}$

$Slope\ of\ BC=\frac{4-2}{-2-4}\\ =\frac{2}{-6}\\=-\frac{1}{3}$

$Slope\ of\ AC= \frac{4-3}{-2-1} \\=-\frac{1}{3}$

We can see that

$Slope\ of\ AB=Slope\ of\ BC=Slope\ of\ AC$

The given points are on same line.

Find two positive numbers whose product is 192 and their sum is a minimum.

yuradex [85]

Answer:

8√3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a, b = the positive numbers, and the sum = s,

(1)---- ab = 192

(2)--- a + b = s

Since we want to find the minimum sum, we'll have to substitute one of the variables (either a or b) from (1) to (2), I'll choose b,

From (1), b = 192/a

Substitute b = 192/a into (2),

s = a + 192/a

Now, we are able to use a concept of calculus (maximum & minimum) to solve it, just remember 2 steps in finding the values of x in maxima minima question:

1) find dy/dx

2) Find x from dy/dx = 0

ds/da = 1 - 192/a²

When ds/da = 0,

1 - 192/a² = 0

a² = 192

a = ±√192

a = 8√3 , -8√3

Since a is positive, a = 8√3

Substitute a into (1),

b = 192/(8√3)

b = 8√3

Therefore, the two positive numbers are 8√3... and 8√3

Suppose that a polynomial function p can be factored into seven factors: (x − 3), (x +1), and 5 factors of (x − 2).What are its

otez555 [7]

Answer:

From the following equation, the zero 3 has multiplicity with 1 and the zero -1 has multiplicity with 1 and the zero 2 has multiplicity with 5. The degree of the polynomial is 7.

Step-by-step explanation:

The following equation are:

p(x) = (x -3)(x + 1)(x - 2)(x - 2)(x - 2)(x - 2)(x - 2)

Then, the multiplicity of the equation:

p(x) = (x -3)(x + 1)(x - 2)^5

In the following equation, the zero 3 has multiplicity with 1 and the zero -1 has multiplicity with 1, and the zero 2 has multiplicity with 5.

Then the degree of the all polynomials is highest degrees in every term.

So, first we have to expand it:

p(x) = (x -3)(x + 1)(x - 2)^5

p(x) = (x -3)(x + 1)(x - 2)(x - 2)(x - 2)(x - 2)(x - 2)

p(x) = (x^2 + x - 3x - 3)(x^2 - 4x - 4)(x^2 - 4x - 4)(x-2)

p(x) = (x^4 - 6x^3 + 9x^2 + 4x - 12)(x^3 - 6x^2 + 12x - 8)

p(x) = x^7 - 12x^6 + 57x^5 - 130x^4 + 120x^3 + 48x^2 - 176x + 96

so, then the degree of the following equation is 7
